I really don't understand this point, similar to the other poster below - making lightweight furniture and not clear cutting virgin forests are not mutually exclusive.

They can make lightweight furniture while not rasing virgin forests to the ground.

Just a reminder that they are a corporation and to not fall for their PR. They are actively destroying the environment while paying as little tax as possible. The cheapness of their furniture does have externalities one needs to consider.

I think most people who are critical of IKEA would be fine with cheap carboard furniture, if it weren't for their unethical practices hinging on corruption in developing countries. I recently learned of their practices of clearing old

How good is the microphone quality on it? I had a horrible experience with their Moto Edge Pro which had one of the worst mics I ever experienced. Very high noise floor plus aggressive filtering. Not something you expect in a flagship phone

It heavily depends on the task, language and experience. What I saw in my team was that low performers started being as productive as mediocre programmers, however they mostly produce slop which needs to be sent back for rework, so in the s

The stripey wood-and-black-rubber 'sound dampening' panels are all the rage these days and I don't really understand it. Our management had the bright idea to put these things in all our meeting rooms on the wall with the TVs

And even if you refuse the receipt, the cashier still contaminated your food. Also, line cooks.

Was going to say the same thing, but I'm pretty sure he already knows that. Smart people can convince themselves of everything.

Right up until one tries to set up a self-hosted server (spoiler - you can't, at least not without 'significant effort' - they themselves say that if you ask about it).

That niche was long taken over by cheap Chinese SBCs, so they have to innovate somehow. Their only advantage that remains is the community.

Eaton and APC at least have models with LFP chemistry, with comparable prices across power ratings. The LFP will be more expensive though due to the increased longevity, at least until lead-acid ones stops being produced.

The biggest issue with these diy builds is that they need the mechanics to be inside the lens - which is not necessarily a bad thing, however it severely limits the lens choice for the system, and introduces additional cost (you basically n

Is this really what they use to train commanding officers? It has all the hallmarks of a self-help book - vague advice coupled with some anecdotes - with a lot of bureaucratic fluff inbetween. How/why did the squad leader 'instinc

The other day I was trying to figure out a cost estimate for Gemini 2.5 Pro but they don't have this in their pricing calculator - it just isn't there. Only endless tables with various model sizes and options which aren't exp

A noob question, since the original article doesn't go into details - what is exactly being simulated here? I was under the impression that we can't even reliably do a single protein folding due to the sheer complexity of the task

Every time I try breathwork (be it box or x-y-z) I feel that the intervals are too long - by the time I finish breathing out my brain goes into panic mode and the next breath is not enough to compensate. I find them the exact opposite of re

Pandora's box is now open and multiple groups have access to drones[0]. This is something that I think escapes engineers in this line of work - that something they invented will eventually end up (legally or not) in the hands of people

I think many in this thread are underestimating the desire of VPs and CTOs to just offload the risk somewhere else. Quite a lot of companies handling sensitive data are already using various services in the cloud and it hasn't been a p

I would not use it without proper eye protection for that particular wavelength. Staring into an infrared light will probably negatively affect your eyesight. As the eyes cannot see it, your pupil will not react and you also can't judg

I feel that sleep will ultimately be the answer and the cure. Personal anecdote - one of my uncles is affected by this disease. One day, my aunt could not wake him up in the morning as hard as she tried. He would mumble and try to go back t
